The booking process was very easy.
Thank you Arturo for a great snorkel excursion. He made sure we found some turtles to swim with and he made sure we all had a nice experience at each stop. We really enjoyed the snorkeling and there were a lot of fish swimming with us at the shipwreck. We also made a mistake on our original booking (missed our pickup), but they were very accomodating and helped us to re-schedule for the next day. Thank you!
This snorkeling tour was excellent! We saw thousands of tropical fish, a few huge turtles, a shipwreck, and underwater statues. The crew was great and our guide, Rob was fun and helped a ton with our 9 yr. old on his first time snorkeling. We definitely recommend this activity
Had a blast!!!! Really nice not having to go out with a big group. The team was amazing.
